Constança was an excellent tour guide. She took us, a family of 4 (2 teenagers, one a reluctant walker) around Cascais. It's a great way to enjoy the architecture of the place and find out lots of information. If you've never been to Cascais I would recommend this. If you've been before and are interested in architecture and history it is interesting.
Great way to get barings.

We were not looking for a group tour with the person with a flag leading. Lovely walk around Caiscais - like taking a walk with a friend; just us. Costanca is very passionate and knowledgeable about her hometown. Caiscais is a beautiful city with a lot of history. Constanca gave us great tips for beaches and restaurants to enjoy - which we did take advantage of.
Contanca made our trip to Caiscais memorable.

My wife and I did the 2hr walk around Cascais with Constança as our guide. Even though my wife had lived in the area as a young girl, we learned much about the city and the history and legends of the area. Constança tailored the tour to the things we were interested in seeing and also recommended places to see and to eat while in Cascais. I highly recommend the tour early in your visit to the city. Constança is an incredible guide with a wealth of information about the area.A lovely tour of Cascais

He checked in to make sure the pace was ok. He has many good restaurant recommendations. Arthur was fascinating and a joy to spend time with, thank you!Cascais kickstart tour with Arthur

We had a great morning with Artur touring Cascais. He was so lovely and a great guide always checking that we were ok for walking pace.
He clearly loves his home town and transmitted that enthusiasm to us with lots of tips that we will follow through over the course of our trip.
His care and attention started before we met and has continued with recommendations since.
We could not recommend Artur more highly. Great introduction to Cascais

Beatriz was fantastic! She is so personable with a wonderful personality!
We were shown lots of local museums and historical spots that were within walking distance of our location near the Visitor’s Center. We walked through the nearby park that we didn’t realize was so close. She showed us the Original Santini’s and we bought gelatos.
And Beatriz noticed that I accidentally booked the same tour twice, and was flexible in starting time because it was unseasonably warm.
Thanks again Beatriz for a fabulous tour of Cascais! I highly recommend her as a tour guide! Ten Stars!See Beatriz’ hometown of Cascais

Artur was communicative from the start, recommending an easier meeting spot from our hotel, restaurants and specific places to visit based on our daughter’s interests. Artur was accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly even checking on us the next day when the threat of fires closed down roads to Sintra.
It felt like traveling around the city with an old friend.A view across Lisbon

Having arrived in Cascais the previous day we met with Constanca the following day to get good ideas of things to do and where to eat. A lovely and very knowledgeable lady who made us all feel T ease and took us around Cascais and into a lovely local restaurant off the beaten track. Would highly recommend Fabulous Constanca

We loved our walking food tour with Constanca in Cascais.
We saw so much of the town with interesting commentary and our food tour was customized to our food preferences.
We loved joining a local street based restaurant for pre St Anthony’s day celebrations.
Information was interesting and recommendations for future dining and visits was welcomed.
A great tour that was great to do early in our stay so we were familiar with parts of Cascais. We even got the recipe for one of our favourite dishes. Constanca was a good communicator and had planned and updated us prior to our evening. A must do (wear walking shoes)Great tour with wonderful guide

Constança was absolutely great! We booked a food tour with her and she was super accommodating as we had our 9 month old and 3 year old. We have been in Portugal for a week already so we had eaten most of the popular dishes so we were happy to try new and VERY tasty options. We loved her recommendations and she even offered to share the recipe of our favorite Portuguese dish from the tour. Highly recommend! Tasty!!!

We had an amazing day with Antonio. The unique pairings of authentic Portuguese cuisine with wine and history was an incredible experience. Coincidentally a nationwide power outage occurred during our tour, however, Antonio was able to use his connections and expertise to still make our day wonderful and memorable. He stayed with us as Lisbon closed down and made sure we were both well fed and oriented to the city. Thank you Antonio!Above and Beyond

Antonio was a wonderful tour guide for our food tour! He was pleasant and easy to chat with, while providing a nice selection of foods at 4 different locations. Being with him in the restaurants was like being with a friend — he answered our questions, provided information about each dish, and even went out of his way to order an extra small taste of an item that we were curious about. It was nice to be treated like a local at the restaurants because we were with him, especially at one of the restaurants where the staff came over and welcomed us as if we were old friends. We learned a lot about Portuguese food, and we ate lots! Definitely come hungry! You will not be disappointed!Great tour!

Antonio took my wife and I on a walking tour of Lisbon. He personalized it perfectly so there was no overlap with what we had already seen. Although the weather was rainy, Antonio took us to see both highlights and hidden sites (make sure he takes you to the church that is plain outside and irnate inside...a true hidden gem!) and never wavered. He made sure we went inside different places as well as seeing key sites and statutes while explaining the history. We had a great time and learned a lot. Antonio did a great job!Fun walking tour

The tour itself was really a pleasure. Good variation between history, culture, we tasted the best pasteis de nata in the city, etc. The pace was up to us to determine. No pressure
